How to Stop Competing on Price and Start Standing Out for Your True Value Many business owners feel pressure to drop their prices just to win clients. But the truth is, lowering your price rarely builds the kind of business (or life) you really want. In this final episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by David Gómez, pricing expert and author of Stop Competing on Price, as well as our brand new co-authored book, Connect. Lead. Succeed, who shares how entrepreneurs can stop competing on price and start standing out for all the right reasons. David has spent more than 15 years helping small businesses strengthen their pricing and profitability by focusing on differentiation, perceived value, and human connection. He explains why your ability to charge fairly for your work isn't about being the cheapest — it's about being clear, confident and meaningfully different. If you've ever found yourself second-guessing your prices or wondering how to communicate your worth without discounting, this conversation will open your eyes to what really creates value in your clients' minds. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why competing on price keeps your business stuck — and what to do instead The three questions that uncover your true differentiators How to find what makes you remarkable (even when it feels like everyone's the same) Simple ways to add value that make price irrelevant How to use connection and clarity to build trust — and win clients who pay what you're worth ...and much more!  

What if the content you've already created could work harder for you? If you're like most small business owners and creatives, you've spent hours crafting blog posts, emails, and social content—only to use them once and move on. But here's the thing: you're sitting on a goldmine of material that could be repurposed to extend your reach, fill your content calendar, and actually get a return on all that time you invested. In this episode of Talk Copy to Me, I'm showing you how AI can make content repurposing faster and more strategic than ever before. I'll walk you through bi-directional repurposing (yes, you can go from short-form to long-form content too), share specific workflows you can use right away, and give you the exact prompts and context you need to get quality results from AI tools. You'll learn how to choose which content is worth repurposing, how to maintain your voice across different formats, and—most importantly—what mistakes to avoid so you're not just churning out mediocre content. This isn't about letting AI run wild with your messaging; it's about using it strategically to maximize the ROI on content you've already validated.You in?

How much and how often should I be paying myself from my private practice? How can I effectively manage my business expenses? How much money should I spend on personal development each year? How much should I set aside for taxes? These are some of the most common questions I help therapists solve when they join my signature course, Money Skills For Therapists, and are looking to gain clarity into their business finances and create stability in their practices. In this podcast episode, I offer an in-depth overview of the various jobs your money must do, no matter how much of it you're making or the size of your practice. But before we dive into the specifics of all these different jobs, the core concept that I want to leave you with today is that your money needs to take care of you.In our professions, we give so much time and energy to our clients. We're also natural caregivers to our children or our aging parents, or we're giving to our community and our friends in all these other ways. We tend to be very giving, self-sacrificing humans.What's important to remember is that when you build a business and start generating money, part of that business' job is to take care of you so that you can keep showing up in life - both professionally and personally - and do the incredible work in the way that only you can do it.Establishing Clear Boundaries: Fixed vs. Variable Business Expenses The first step to making your money work for you is to identify business non-negotiables like taxes, rent, software, utilities, and other expenses that are required for you to conduct business. Many practice owners find it useful to use multiple bank accounts – one for each large expense group like taxes, business expenses, and payroll – to help manage and visualize how much money goes toward each category.For variable expenses, like personal development, getting clear on your budget, being strategic and making informed decisions can help prevent overspending funds you might need for license renewals or other necessary expenses.And rather than swiping cash from the business to pay your mortgage or other personal bills just before they're due, you can begin to create stability and security in your personal financial life by having a clear and consistent amount deposited into your personal checking account each month as a regular, reliable paycheck that you and your family can depend on.(00:22:52) "What you can control is what you are doing with your money.

Small and medium businesses make up nearly half of all employment and GDP, yet they often struggle to compete against the scale, brand power, and resources of large corporations.

Why We Keep Showing Up TogetherEvery month, Jen and I hop on a call to trade notes, swap links, and compare what's resonating. It's become a favorite ritual because it lets us zoom out and make sense of a very fast month—what we published, what we learned, and where our communities are headed next. We're aligned on mission and complementary in approach: we both want to help people use money for good—while being as rigorous about real-world impact as we are about financials. That's why we keep encouraging readers to subscribe to both publications; you see more of the picture that way.This month, our conversation kept circling around a handful of pieces that sparked big reactions across our communities:* Superpowers for Good: SuperCrowd25: A Movement on the Rise* Superpowers for Good: Power Up October* Main Street Journal: Scamming Social Change* Main Street Journal: Plant DePIN Stations for Fun and Profit* Main Street Journal: Housing Cooperatives & the Better AbundanceWe also name-checked two thinkers whose work regularly sharpens the discussion: Michael Shuman and Paul Spinrad.Authenticity, Impact, and What Changes When You Meet the FounderA thread we returned to repeatedly is the gap between pitch-deck promises and the reality you can feel when you look a founder in the eye—even if it's through a webcam. Jen pointed to how hearing a human, unscripted explanation can dispel both confusion and “impact-washing” skepticism. I see that dynamic every quarter in our Live Pitch sessions: judges arrive with carefully formed opinions and then, after Q&A with founders, their scores often shift—sometimes dramatically. That post-conversation “re-rating” speaks to the power of authentic engagement for investors and founders alike.Michael Shuman's “Scamming Social Change” gave us a crisp lens for that authenticity test. His basic argument: be wary of grand claims about fixing systemic problems with thin mechanisms. He challenged the marketing logic of some “impact” narratives that simply don't add up when you trace how the benefits would actually reach people. For impact investors, the takeaway is simple: scrutinize the causal chain, not just the press release.Three Housing Ideas Worth Stealing (and Scaling)Housing kept bubbling up as a cross-community priority—because you can't talk about poverty, health, or mobility without talking about where people live.* Small, Local, ManyMichael's “Better Abundance” essay argues that big problems don't always demand singular, big solutions; sometimes “many small things in many places” perform better, especially when they're rooted in community context. Jen loved that framing—and it tracks with what we see across Main Street finance and impact crowdfunding: local teams solving local problems, with models that travel.* Co-ops Change the Market, Not Just the Tenant's RentJen highlighted Burlington's Champlain Housing Trust—managing roughly 3,000 affordable homes—as an example of how cooperative models can reset price expectations across a region by forcing the broader market to compete with a fairer baseline. She also flagged a Swiss city where a notable share of residents lives in nonprofit housing—and pointed to eye-poppingly low homelessness figures. The point isn't that co-ops alone “solve” homelessness; it's that a portfolio of modest, durable interventions can shift the whole system.* ADUs as a Practical On-RampCloser to home, Jen's local planning commission in Keene ran an ADU Challenge: homeowners volunteered real sites and constraints; architects and students designed tailored, buildable options; and a $5,000 prize helped surface practical patterns. Policy may permit ADUs on paper, but many would-be “home creators” still need a nudge through the how-to. That kind of lightweight, civic R&D is a smart way to turn latent permission into actual housing.We also touched on work from SuperCrowd25 showcasing rehab-first approaches and manufactured housing as naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH)—permanent, dignified units that are too often conflated with RVs. In markets where down payments are out of reach, adding safe, lower-cost rentals is an immediate win—and investors can help expand that supply now, not “someday.”A Curious Frontier: Plant DePINOn the more experimental end, Paul Spinrad's “Plant DePIN Stations for Fun and Profit” lit up our curiosity. I'm intrigued by the blend of community incentive design, real-world infrastructure, and open participation. We didn't try to answer every technical or tokenomic question in our chat; we simply acknowledged an emerging space where Main Street builders might find new tools—if (and only if) the impact logic pencils out. As always: first prove the benefit, then scale the mechanism.Movement Notes: SuperCrowd25 & Building the On-RampsIf you missed it, SuperCrowd25 felt like a turning point—less a one-off event and more a widening lane for founders and investors who want returns and results. Our “Movement on the Rise” piece captured why: the people doing the work are getting better at telling the story, and the people funding the work are getting better at asking the right questions. When those two curves meet—clearer storytelling and sharper diligence—capital flows to what actually helps. That's the movement.And because better on-ramps matter, we'll keep making space where founders can show up as themselves and investors can interrogate the “how,” not just the “what.” The more we normalize that practice—the short, human conversation where a founder's logic is audible—the fewer “scamming social change” narratives will slip through undetected.A Candid Ask: Power Up OctoberI also shared something personal with Jen: after 13 years of building this community—rebranding as Superpowers for Good four years ago and launching SuperCrowd two years back—we're close to covering our costs, but not quite there. That's the reason behind our Power Up October campaign.

Wellness influencers are perfecting the art of turning pseudoscience into profit. Whether they're selling supplements, offering classes, or just chasing engagement, an army of wellness grifters has weaponized mistrust of institutions and Big Pharma, peddling false health claims that trick people into treatments and practices that are ineffective at best, and in some cases outright dangerous. Last week the Trump administration claimed without evidence that Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism. The science is clear that it isn't true, but that didn’t matter. Doctors pushed back, but the damage was already done—because wellness influencers pounced. They didn’t just spread the fear, they profited off it. And suddenly, one of the only safe pain relievers for pregnant women became the latest weapon in a war over women’s health. Once again, Trump and RFK Jr are playing disingenuous, dangerous political games with women's health and wellbeing. This isn’t just about Tylenol. It’s about how wellness influencers turn misinformation into a business model—and how their influence helped shape a dangerous narrative straight out of the White House. Mallory DeMille, content creator and correspondent on the podcast Conspirituality, has been pushing back against these dangerous grifters with hilarious videos and posts that make fun of their most ridiculous claims.

Imagine losing a team member who's been with you for years. Beyond the obvious recruiting costs, you're facing a cascade of hidden consequences: the training burden on your remaining team, eroding morale as staff wonder if they should be looking elsewhere, and patients noticing unfamiliar faces at every visit. That's the reality of turnover, and it's far more costly than most dentists realize.Drawing from my own practice experience—nine years of remarkable stability followed by a challenging period of departures after COVID—I've discovered that reducing turnover doesn't require complex systems or extravagant perks. It comes down to three fundamental principles that are surprisingly easy to implement but transformative in their impact.Recognition sits at the heart of retention. When I committed to giving each team member two specific compliments weekly (what I call "filling buckets"), I was shocked to discover how many quiet contributors I'd been overlooking. Creating systematic appreciation—sharing patient reviews, implementing token recognition programs, celebrating achievements—transforms recognition from an occasional afterthought to a cultural cornerstone.Regular one-on-ones provide the psychological safety team members need to express concerns before they become resignation letters. These structured conversations aren't just problem-solving sessions; they're relationship-building opportunities that demonstrate you value each person's perspective. I've consistently found that periods of team unrest coincided with lapses in these critical meetings.Finally, investing in your team's growth and creating a workplace where people genuinely enjoy their colleagues builds remarkable loyalty. People will tolerate significant workplace challenges when they love the people they work with and feel they're continuously developing professionally.Ready to transform your practice into one where people want to stay?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies, influencing policies that promote more medical interventions for children while reducing parental control The AAP's top priority is to eliminate parental authority over childhood vaccination decisions, replacing it with state or provider control Major child health issues like rising obesity, increasing autism rates, and chronic illness prevention are absent from the AAP's top 10 priorities The AAP uses rare measles outbreaks to justify removing personal and religious vaccine exemptions, despite measles mortality already being near zero before mass vaccination began Ignoring preventive strategies, the AAP's approach sets children up for lifelong dependence on pharmaceutical products rather than building lasting health
